The Capri, a grand villa by R&D Companies in the Italia neighborhood at Treviso Bay is described as “Mediterranean style with a decidedly Californian edge.” Faith Fix of Freestyle Interiors outfitted the three-bedroom, 3½- bath model.
Saltillo Mexican tiles with Talavera inserts pave the way throughout the living areas of the Capri, starting in the foyer, where a 16-foot barrel ceiling has pecky cypress beams. In the great room, two built-ins have an adobe look with a series of niches showcasing Moroccanflavored accessories and a recess for an armoire that serves as an entertainment center. An office off the great room includes a tall built-in with panels that hide a plasma television.
The cherry-stained kitchen cabinetry has glass doors reminiscent of a country kitchen. A generous farm sink with an oversized faucet adds to that feel, while a Talevera tile backsplash continues the theme of the home.
The Capri takes full advantage of the Treviso Bay lifestyle that blurs the line between indoor and outdoor living. The screened outdoor living area has brick pavers in a herringbone pattern, and the pool and spa feature translucent turquoise tiles. A separate gazebo serves as an outdoor kitchen and includes a built-in grill mounted in stone, wood and stucco. A seating area furnished in vibrant blue, lime and tangerine colors is tucked off to one side of the outdoor area.
The entrance to Treviso Bay is one mile east of St. Andrews Boulevard on U.S. 41. The community has an array of residences designed and built by a collection of preferred builders. In addition to R&D Companies, those builders include Taylor Morrison, McGarvey Custom Homes, Gulfshore Homes and Harwick Homes. Prices range from the $700,000s to more than $4.5 million.
